Section 34-14A-1 Legislative intent. In the interest of the public health, safety, welfare,
and consumer protection and to regulate the home building and private residence construction
industry, the purpose of this chapter, and the intent of the Legislature in passing it, is
to provide for the licensure of those persons who engage in home building, private residence
construction, and home improvement industries, including remodeling, and to provide home building
standards and to support education within the construction trades in the State of Alabama.
The Legislature recognizes that the home building and home improvement construction industries
are significant industries. Home builders may pose significant harm to the public when unqualified,
incompetent, or dishonest home builders and remodelers provide inadequate, unsafe, or inferior
building services. The Legislature finds it necessary to regulate the residential home building
and home improvement industries. (Acts 1992, No. 92-608,...

Section 9-13-271 Legislative findings. (a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the
application of prescribed burning is a landowner property right and a land management tool
that benefits the safety of the public, the environment, the natural resources, and the economy
of Alabama. Therefore, the Legislature finds that: (1) Prescribed burning reduces naturally
occurring vegetative fuels within wildland areas. The reduction of the fuel load reduces the
risk and severity of major catastrophic wildfire, thereby reducing the threat of loss of life
and property, particularly in urbanizing areas. (2) Many of Alabama's natural communities
require periodic fire for maintenance of their ecological integrity. Prescribed burning is
essential to the perpetuation, restoration, and management of many plant and animal communities.
Significant loss of the state's biological diversity will occur if fire is excluded from fire-dependent
ecosystems. (3) Forest lands constitute significant...

Section 11-96A-1 Legislative declarations. It is hereby declared that a lack of sanitary, safe,
and affordable dwelling accommodations for persons of moderate and low income and shelters,
halfway houses and emergency housing for persons who would otherwise be homeless exists in
various municipalities and rural areas of the state. Consequently, persons of low and moderate

in and spread of disease and crime constitute a menace to the health, safety, morals, and
welfare of the citizens of the state. It is a matter of public interest to provide safe and
sanitary housing for the low and moderate income citizens and shelter for homeless persons,
to alleviate such conditions and to encourage economic development, to increase employment
